Gilmore Girls

I think I'll start with Emily starting to date. It was a shock but a great idea for some entertainment. Rory's idea to both have dinner with either Emily or Richard separately was doubtful to work but I liked Lorelai's reaction over the phone, hoping Rory wanted to cancel the dinners in general. Also her shock at Emily wanting to date was amusing.



Emily's panic about what to wear on the date was good and it was nice to see Lorelai try and help her. Strangely the date goes very well and Emily seems to enjoy it vastly. But there is a touch of sadness when she bursts into tears when she gets home. I just hope her and Richard come to there senses soon.



Onto Christopher, he's back on the scene again here. Lorelai calls him wondering why he hasn't called her since her visits to his messy home. Obviously this is due to Rory wanting him to stay away from her mother. The lunch scene at the inn was great, with Rory and Christopher arguing and Lorelai having no idea what was up with them.



It is good to see Rory so protective and I agree with her, things are always ruined when he comes into the picture. I'm interested to see if Rory and Chris sort out there differences. This all leads to Lorelai telling Luke about the lunch and he confides in TJ to see if he should be jealous. After a date, Luke and Lorelai have a passionate kiss showing us there relationship is going extremely well.



He then tells her that the lunch was fine. Lorelai later ignores Chris's call, either taking Rory's advice or staying true to Luke. On the Yale side of things, Rory is spending time with Marty and Paris goes on a fast. Paris was very funny as always, great one liners. Marty looks like he's going to ask Rory out but she has fallen asleep, let's wait and see if he'll go through with it on a later date.



So yeah, this episode could be one of my favourites so far in the season. It's not really an episode you'd think would be a favourite but for me it stood out!

Jackson tries hiding from the town, he doesn't want anybody asking him for more favors as town selectman. Rory has the idea of "divide and conquer" with Lorelei and her splitting up for Frida night dinner. Rory takes Richard, and Lorelei takes Emily. Rory makes allusions to furniture being comforable "after 40 years" and Richard says she's a lovely girl. On the other hand, when Lorelei attempts to confront Emily, Emily says she wants to date other men and asks Lorelei how to go about it. The way she panicked about what to wear on her date was really funny, she has to have Lorelei to help. Also, Lorelei realizes she hasn't heard from Christopher in a while and calls and invites him to lunch. He agrees, after hesitating at first because Rory asked him not to have contact with her mother. When Rory comes to the Inn and sees Christopher, she gets quite angry. But Christopher tells her that it was Lorelei's idea, and she should just deal with it. Later, after Emily goes on a date, she comes back home and bursts into tears.

Poor Jackson, he is hiding from everyone in town lol

Sookie is pregnant and now come the hard part, the hormones, the cravings...



And she had hope but it got token away lol Lorelai and Rory talking about Friday night dinners...

TJ shouldn't be allow to do any handy work lol



Chris is back in the picture, Lorelai noticed that he hadn't called and she called him and invited him to lunch.



The idea of having separated Friday night dinners backfired. At Rory's end it went well but Lorelai's... Emily wants to date other man!!! When Rory showed up for lunch that was weird. As you remember Rory asked her father not to call Lorelai so him being there was bad. And all this because she loves her, Rory knows how Lorelai is with Chris, all the history they have...



Jackson flipped! No town meetings! Well no luck, the town tricked him lol



And Emily!!! She is going on a date, killer cloths flying around the room, she was hysteric, panicking! The dinner went well but her reaction at the end, that reveal how ready she was about dating, she hated it, she felt guilty.

After Lorelai realizes that she hasn't heard from Christopher since that manic night when she aided him in caring for Gigi she calls him, not aware of the fact that he stayed away from Lorelai at Rory's somewhat heated request. Making lunch plans Lorelai inadvertantly causes a rift between Rory and Chris, who get into a fight about the whole situation when she is out of earshot. Chris leaves and Rory calls her mother on the situation, claiming that Lorelai can't just break free of him and he'll mess things up between her and Luke. Lorelai rebuffs claiming all is good but we later find out she never even told him about the lunch date with Christopher, thinking that it meant nothing at the time but now it seems odd that she kept it from him. But when she comes clean at the diner Luke seems totally passive about the situation. Later, at Tj and Liz's he expresses some concern about the situation and asks Tj's advice who proves to be little help (though quite comical). Rory doesn't even seem to wante Christopher around expressing to Marty that she spent so many years just wanting him to come around period and now it's all just so complicated. Luke later tells Lorelai that it is totally fine with him that she had lunch with Christopher, just very nonchalantly. He really doesn't actually seem to care all that much and seems to realize getting jealous over it would really just make the both of them crazy. And hey bonus, when Chris calls later that night Lorelai goes to pick up the phone but then recoils and goes to bed. Looks like she can finally break free of Chris after all. I really liked the fact that Luke seemed to, at least at the time, understand how complicated it was with Christopher and that as much as he had every right to be jealous and even angry that she kept something like that from him that it was just unnecessary and pointless. It's another like fact that really let you know that Luke Danes was the one for Lorelai. Probably one of the few men that Lorelai dated, actually one of the few men of the planet, who wouldn't get totally paniced at the name Christopher Hayden.

I thought that this episode was really great i liked the whole Emily dating idea i thought that it was funny. I really liked that Lorelai seemed upset that her mother wanted to date again it was nice of Lorelai helping her mother get ready for her date. I thought that Paris was really funny durning her fasting experance for her news story but i felt at times she took it a little overboard. i want to know when Rory is going to start dating Marty i think that they would make a cute couple. I was happy to see that Emily looked upset after her date.

Sookie asks Lorelai how Christopher is doing...Lorelai thinks and then realizes that she's not really sure because she hadn't talked to Christopher in a while. She decides to invite him for lunch at the Dragonfly so that they can catch up. Rory was also invited- she accepted not knowing that her father would come. (Christopher was also unaware that Rory and he would be dingin together)



When Rory arrives for lunch her mother and father and half-sister GG are sitting around the table talking (well, GG wa sactually spitting). Rory gets upset and tension is around the table. Lorelai gets up to deal with an issue and when she comes back, just minutes later, Rory and her father aren't speaking and Christopher announces that he'll leave (even though they never even ate)



When Lorelai questions Rory as to what happened Rory responds angrily telling her mom that everytime Christopher shows up he screws up her current relationship. Rory said she didn't want that to happen between her and Luke. Rory then asks what Luke even thought about them having lunch together...Lorelai said that he said nothing and didn't care because it was no big deal...(Lorelai had never told Luke)



Later in the episode when she decides to tell Luke (she feels guilty) he just nods and says he doesn't care. Lorelai is relieved...



Luke actually was a little bothered by the whole thing...well, more jealous than anything else. He asks his brother-in-law about jealousy and they talk...Luke decides that it really was no big deal.



Also, Emily Gilmore decides to date. She makes Lorelai come over and help her pick out a dress. Emily appears to have fun with her date, Simon McClain...its quite the opposite though. When she comes home from her date and closes the door...she just cries, right in the foyer.



All in all it was a pretty good episode.

a great episode



Emily goes back to dating, loved Lorelai's reaction to that and the dressing emergency, hilarious! Loved the line, 'Who is this? - It's you in 20 years!' Fantastic! Though the ending was sad, it seems that Emily isn't completely over Richard yet and doesn't want to date anybody else. It's an all new side of Emily Gilmore!



Also glad to see Marty back, he's a great guy, as Rory's friend of course. Logan should be with Rory! ^_^ But it's good to see their friendship on screen some more this season, at least more then in S4!



Paris is great as always with her Ramadan!



And christopher is back! On Lorelai's invite of course. Rory's reaction to that was very natural because she told him to stay away but she should have let him explain it himself or at least believed him. And Lorelai should have told Luke about it, and not like she did now, breaking it to him afterwards..



And Michel was great as well with his mole stealing inn guests. :)



Great ep overall, :D
